Twenty years ago, on January 16, Prem Nazir faded away from the silver screen for one last time. Nevertheless, memories of him remain evergreen. With over 600 films as hero to his credit and that too with more than 100 films opposite the same heroine; starring with over 80 heroines and an average of 39 releases a year, it might be tempting to limit Nazir’s remarkable career to world records and statistics. But figures alone cannot explain the phenomenon that he was.Nazir may not have been the ciritics’ favourite and he may not have won too many awards, but he conquered Malayali hearts like no actor did, before or after. He was quite simply, there first superstar; their first romantic hero. Nazir has often been dismissed, sometimes too easily, as just a star and not an ‘actor’. But even his harshest critics could not have ignored his powerful performances in films such as ‘Iruttinte Athmavu,’ ‘Kallichellamma,’ ‘Dhawani,’ ‘Murappennu,’ ‘Anubhavangal Palichakal,’ ‘Padayottam,’ ‘Vida Parayum Munpe,’ ‘Azhakulla Saleena,’ and ‘Nadi.’ The man who made his debut in Malayalam Cinema with ‘Marumakal’ in 1952 ended his career, rather unexpectedly, with ‘Dhwani’ in 1989. People in the industry used to comment that Nazir’s face was expressionless. Little did they realize that he was then doing what we now call natural acting. And he did at a time when there was an overwhelming influence of theatre in our cinema.

Geetha Vijayan who is now cornered to character roles, treasures her debut role of Maya in the super hit ‘In Harihar Nagar’ as the best thing that happened to her, in the industry. This biggest hit of the nineties projected her to stardom and she bagged a number of lead roles in many films of the time. But with in a couple of years, the actress who failed to create any notable hits thereafter ,slumped off to smaller roles that were never promising enough for one, who has such a good start.Any how, Geetha Vijayan is again getting a chance to play the same role in the new sequel to the ‘In Harihar Nagar’ titled ‘Harihar Nagar-2’. The movie which features Lakshmi Rai in the lead will also have Geetha Vijayan's Maya as an important character. ‘Hariharhar Nagar -2’ planned to be on theatres by this Vishu is fast progressing with its shoot at Kochi. The movie is the first independent venture in direction of actor-producer Lal.

Malayalee actress Priyanka, who recently made a TV appearance in 'Idea Star Singer', a popular reality show in Kerala aired by Asianet TV, is extremely lucky! She was launched in 2006 with the much-acclaimed Bharath starrer Veyyil, the first-ever Tamil film screened at Cannes as part of Cannes Film Festival 2007. Remember the hit song of the film "Uruguthey maruguthey orae parvayaley"? Now, Priyanka is making steady progress in her career and getting chosen for heroine-centric films.Have you heard of the Malayalam film Vilambam, the poignant tale of a gang-raped girl and her fight for justice? The film has not yet been released in India, but has been screened at several international film festivals where it was critically acclaimed by international film critics and pundits. It's Priyanka's first film in Malayalam.

Vilambam has made everyone in the industry take notice of Priyanka’s acting skills and her ability. Though the film has an impressive lineup of veterans like Thilakan, Biju Menon and Suhasini, the focus is always on Priyanka and there are only two scenes in which she does not appear, which is something quite rare for a heroine! Following this, she has bagged meaty roles in Bipin Prabhakar’s Samastakeralam P.O. opposite Jayaram and National award winning director T.V. Chandran’s Bhoomi Malayalam opposite Suresh Gopi. Both films have already completed post production works and are now expected to release in January 2009.

Not just Malayalam films, Priyanka has also secured a prominent role in the forthcoming Vanam Partha Seemaiyile (Tamil), whose audio will be released soon. The film is considered as a catapult that will elevate Priyanka’s status in Kollywood. Priyanka says she is no hurry and would rather wait for a meaningful role rather than work in some run-of-the-mill movie. We wish this brilliant actress the best of luck.
